Midlands Healthcare Coalition
Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP)
Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) provides leadership and funding through cooperative agreements to states, territories, and eligible major metropolitan areas to increase the ability of HPP funding recipients to plan for and respond to large-scale emergencies and disasters. HPP is the primary source of federal funding for health care system preparedness and response and, in collaboration with state and local health departments, prepares health care delivery systems to save lives by developing health care coalitions (HCCs).
The local program is designed to improve the healthcare coalition and its partners response and resilience.
